Brunson and Hellmuth to Play English Poker Open

Tuesday, 25 August 2009

Both Doyle Brunson and Phil Hellmuth, two of the all-time poker tournament greats, have confirmed their attendance at the upcoming English Poker Open at the Dusk Till Dawn club in Nottingham. With a $1m prize pool already guaranteed, the event is sure to attract a lot more big names.

The seat to the Main Event is worth $5,000 (approximately £3,000) and Dusk Till Dawn themselves are the only place in the country hosting live satellites to the huge event on Tuesday, September 15.

The first live satellite is the Saturday prior to the event; a £50 rebuy at 4pm with 2,000 chips. The day after, a £100 rebuy is taking place with the same starting stack. Given the popularity of the famous poker club, there should be a fair few seats up for grabs.
